Captain Curtis runs a tight, fun vessel. Ms. Lisa was AWESOME in personally guiding my 12 year 9ld granddaughter through all aspects, and details, required to attain her Diving Certification. Two days on the boat was wonderful. The depth of combined expertise of the crew was top notch. I would recommend Captain Hooks to others coming to the area.

I had the pleasure of both snorkeling and getting my Open Water dive certification through Captain Hook’s. Max Ebel was my scuba instructor and he was everything I could’ve hoped for in a teacher. He was a friendly guy, knew an incredible amount about diving, and was enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge with me. Max excelled at explaining skills and techniques clearly and breaking them down into easy to understand steps. He had excellent situational awareness underwater and constantly checked in with me to make sure I was ok, had plenty of air in my tank, and to let me know when a piece of my gear had fallen out of place. He was a pro at spotting interesting marine life and above all else, Max made me feel safe and comfortable in the water. Assisting Max during the Open Water class was Jennifer. She too was a very friendly and knowledgeable diver. Jenn helped me review many of the underwater skills, and did an excellent job fulfilling the role of my dive partner during out-of-air drills, pre-dive equipment checks, and rescue drills. Working with her was a lot of fun and in case she reads this, I apologize for my inability to keep your face out of the water during the valve tow. Finally, I’d like to give a shout out to Captain Curtis. I had the privilege of riding on his boat three separate times. Curtis was a funny and friendly guy but definitely took his responsibilities as captain seriously. While I was resting on the boat in the middle of a dive, another captain steered their vessel over the area where our divers were. Curtis immediately sounded an air horn and called them out for creating unsafe conditions for the divers. I was happy to see that diver safety was a priority for Curtis and that he didn’t hesitate to act. I was impressed by the professionalism, competence, and friendliness demonstrated by everyone at Captain Hook’s. I had a great time diving with them and hope to return again in the future.

Our family had an absolutely incredible experience with Captain Hook’s Marina & Dive Center in Big Pine Key! As first-time snorkelers, we weren’t quite sure what to expect, but choosing the upgraded snorkeling excursion was one of the best decisions we made. The extra cost was minimal and completely worth every penny. From the moment we arrived, the crew made us feel comfortable, welcomed, and excited for the adventure ahead. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to safety helped put all of our first-time nerves at ease. The snorkeling itself exceeded our expectations. We were amazed by the variety of marine life we encountered and loved seeing so many different species in their natural habitat. It was truly an unforgettable experience and one that created lasting memories for our family. A special shout-out goes to Ericka, our snorkeling guide. She was absolutely fantastic! Her enthusiasm, knowledge, patience, and friendly personality made the trip even more enjoyable. She took the time to make sure everyone felt comfortable in the water and helped us get the most out of our snorkeling experience. Ericka is a tremendous ambassador for Captain Hook’s, and we’re so grateful she was part of our first snorkeling adventure. If you're considering a snorkeling trip in the Florida Keys, we highly recommend Captain Hook’s Marina & Dive Center. Whether you're an experienced snorkeler or a complete beginner like we were, their outstanding crew and excellent service will make for a memorable day on the water. Thank you, Captain Hook’s and Ericka, for giving us an amazing first snorkeling experience.

Curtis and Ericka were kind, patient, and caring while I struggled to get in the boat after wearing myself out. Even while I proceeded to lose my breakfast after getting on the boat they allowed me to feel okay about it. They monitored all drivers and snorkelers to ensure we were all safe.

The crew was great even though conditions caused us to come back and miss the second dive. They gave us a 50% refund because of the early return. Great operation. Can’t control the weather. Thanks Captain John and crew.
